Some of the Early Town Records .-- The first records of the town of Bloomfield which then comprised the present towns of East and West Bloomfield, Victor and a por- tion of the town of Lima, go back to 1796. The total expenses of the town for that year were $157.18; in 1797 the total expenses were $234.37, of which $140 was paid for killing wolves, upon which there was a bounty of $10. This left $64.37 for contingent expenses of the town. The names of the wolf slayers in 1797 are David Parsons, 3 wolves, Samuel Miller, 2 wolves, Ezra Norton, John B. Holley, Joshua Ketchum, Jon- athan Adams, Oliver Chapin, Samuel Sterling, David Gould, Phineas Taylor and Sears Peck, each one. There are descendants of most of these men now living in the town of Victor, East and West Bloomfield. In 1797 there were eight licenses granted, the fee for which was $5, and three of the applicants were unable to pay in cash and a note was taken. Moses Gaylord was licensed for an " Inn Holder and Tavern Keeper, with the exception of keeping bed and pasture." The number of licenses gradually increased until 1811 and 1812, the time of the last war with England-which seemed high tide- when twenty-six licenses were granted. The ancestors of some of our most pronounced temperance men were then engaged in the traffic. The last record in the old book of licenses is dated West Bloomfield, April 5, 1845, when Adolphus Nash, Silas and Cad-
